About Lauren

I love being a midwiife and doula, supporting each unique and individual mama-baby dyad. I strongly believe in birth families having opportunities to choose where, when and how to give birth. While balancing the art and science of both traditional and modern midwifery, I am honored to be a part of any birth team. I have been serving birthing families since 1987, shortly after the birth of my own first child. I am a certified birth doula and direct-entry midwife who has been studying and working in the birth field for many years in Minnesota, Norway, England and Massachusetts. I hold two undergraduate degrees in early childhood development and music, and completed one year of graduate school before attending the WomanCraft 2 year Midwifery Program. Special interests and training in holistic health include working with homeopathy, herbs, flower essences, EFT, color and sound therapies. I am also a certified electo-dermal screening practitioner and Reiki Master.

I live by the sea in Newburyport with my husband and our large blended family of seven children and their assorted pets.
